A pre-emptive strike by "The U" as they declare 13 of their players ineligible.

Seats are now on sale thro' Ticketmaster in the Club level for the NFL game next month

The cheapest seats seems to be about £140 a pop. Is that the cheapest I can get them or will cheaper ones become available?

Its just the Club Level seats that are on sale at the moment

Going by the Seating/Pricing plan on TM, it looks like prices could be as low as £50 when the rest of the Stadium goes on sale

Have they changed College Football yet or do they still decide the overall champion on a semi-randon basis?

A few Polls and some computer calculations to chose the top two teams. They then play for the BCS Championship.

It looks like Peyton Manning will miss a game for the first time in 227.

Cracking game last night at Lambeau, let's hope it continues for the whole season!

Really was a great game on Thursday night.  Two excellent offensive outfits.  Neither defense will have it harder this season.

Rodgers in particular looked spectacular in the 1st half.  Best quarterback in the league for me now.

Peyton's had more neck surgery and will be out for most of the season (at least)

What a great spectacle the Michigan vs Notre Dame game was.  Don't think I've enjoyed a non cricket event so much for a while.

The fans who showed so much passion and colour were also brilliant.  I know college football has its fair share of problems, but    it was almost magical watching that.

College Football is a great spectacle, corrupt but entertaining.
